How to Manage Multiple Domains Using the Job Status Manager

Arcserve Backup lets you manage one or more Arcserve Backup using the Job Status Manager, which lets you monitor and manage the job queues relating to all Arcserve Backup domains in your enterprise.

An Arcserve Backup domain consists of the following configurations:

• A primary backup server that is connected to one or more member servers.
• A single, stand-alone backup server.

The first time that you open the Job Status Manager, the domain directory tree displays the Arcserve Backup domain that you are currently logged in to, as illustrated by the following screen.

At any other time, you can Add and Delete domains from the Job Status Manager.

After you add domains to the Job Status Manager, you can perform the following tasks:

• Manage job status--Modify job status, such as Ready, Hold, Run now, Stop Job, and refresh the data for the jobs.
• Manage job protection--Modify the user name for the job and the encryption password for the job.
• Manage job maintenance--Modify job schedules, add jobs, delete jobs, preflight check jobs, Quick search jobs, generate logs, and print information about jobs.

The capability to perform these tasks is limited by the role assigned to account for the specified domain.

Example: Role Assignment

The current Arcserve Backup domain is DomainA. The user "Arcserve User" adds two Arcserve Backup domains: DomainB and DomainC. The roles for each domain are as follows:

• DomainA: caroot user
• DomainB: Backup Operator
• DomainC: Monitor Operator

Arcserve User can perform the following tasks in each Arcserve Backup domain:

• DomainA: Modify, delete, stop all jobs in the domain.
• DomainB: Control jobs submitted using the Arcserve User account.
• DomainC: View Job information about jobs in this domain.
